Monarchs
Are at Risk!
Monarch butterflies don't winter all over Mexico.
They concentrate in a tiny area!
This
map illustrates the small area monarch butterflies use
for the winter compared to the huge area they use at
other times of the year. The overwintering area is 11,000
times smaller than the breeding and migration areas!
How
do you think countries should cooperate to conserve
this important habitat? |
